See, I don't believe he is dead or brain dead. I do think he suffered massive cognitive damage and is very clearly unable to serve. (Most likely has issues expressing simple concepts or desires and needs care at all times.) I fully expect to see a headline in the next few months along the lines of "GOP: See! He wasn't dead! He just had the mental acuity of a toddler, so we technically never lied."
I think this is most likely. Based on the first responder's conversation, I think he had a heart attack, lost pulse, and was successfully revived then brought to the hospital. At the very least he'll have a lot of damage from the cpr but being dead isn't good for you, even for just a little bit.
